The Government of the United States has recent ly sent out an expedition by sea, and another by land. The former sailed to the southward, for, the puts.ose of doubling Cape Horn, of traversing the Pacific, and reaching the Columbia. The latter was 'to proceed west s•ar,l, to . follow the Mis souri, to cross the great ridge of mountains, and to arrive at the same riser, by this lo n g, though, i n point of actual' distance,. much shorter toUte. ,The expainion of Captain Mvrewether Lewis was only paratory the,presenr, bieb is to settle a new coLii}y either in ttfe 1.33 y of the Columbia, or more prof , ably at• its mouth or on. its shores—a colony h will perhilps..bercafter conduct a vast trade with dial:rent parts of , the East.

A. principal objet in View is to open a-communication between 't he isfis soori and the'Columbia ; or, in other words, be-_ tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, with as snort or as coalmodion's a carrying place over the mountain tract as possibly be found. The great obstacle indeed to an extensive intercourse. between the tern and western sides of the North American con tinent—an obstacle which time only can surmount, and after all, itnperfedly surmount,. is the in:et Ven in'g ridge' of mountains, whch is• broad, and sup posed to be free from snow only, about three or four months in the year. These months will there fore be hereafter bill unonitis for the transport of commodities. The want,of roads, of culture, and of population, time and industry will remedy ; and . that the Anglo-Americans will !it:leafier carry on across the Pacific a vast and luerattve commerce wiLli China and Japan, In spite of the c resent timid and jefilous chara6ter of their Governments, can scarcely be doubted, A dt - serter from the French army in Spain arrived a few days . since in Bath : lie is a native of Anspch, and followed the occupatiOn of a schoolmaster but Was compelled, by the Conscript Law, to join the army ordered into the Tyrol; and was engaged in the heat of that destructive warfare.

BARON/ SoLVAxGER.—For some time past for geries have been etimmitted to a very ronsiderAle - amount, by a Fereigner, supposed to be an Italian; ealieg himself Beron Selvanger, by means of forged drafts, signed B. Wilkinsim, drawn upen 8.0,4 n, Cobb, And Co. Bankers, of.. Lombud-street, and' uttered to tradesinee and otherp forgoods purchased, &c. The-drafts were uritten saprio the regular graved blanks of Brown, Cobb,- and Co.; but how he-became possessei of ihem•remains a mystery.— He ari iVed in this country last' Juee or July, and is supposed to have been carrying on his depredations from soon after that time, liii the enth of last . month. On the nit. - he:obtained a Lireequan, tity of old coin, and pretended to gibe • ti,e o•Nner (a foreigner in, the city) more than he could got iu this country, as he was going to leave Eng Lind, and gave him a forged draft in payment. On the-even ing of the same day he called on Mr. Turn' a pawnbroker, who resides - near Golden-square, wish ing to . take some• properly out of pledge, and ten. dered a draft et the aboVe description for 501. Mr. Turner. hesitate=d at taking It, bit the Baron assured him it• Was as good as , 4•Bank of England Note, and . offered to give-one of Mr. Turner's boys two shil hugs if he woulekrint with the cheque to the Bankers to get it cashed. Mr. Towel told him. it was too late, and that the Bankers would be shut. But the Baron appearingeto very urgent fir the boy to get it cashed, Mr. Turner entertained no doubt of its be i in e a go o d on e, an d took t, giving him the pro eperty that was - piedg'd and the .cfmre. On the fellowiug morning he presented it at the shop of Messrs. Brown end ,Co. torpai meat, when he was inform -,l they te:d r.o such person. a:. B. Wi;kit-lon, who kept cash with them; but that they h-rd had a number of sitnlar dratis presented or pay ment.— Mr. Turner, •in consequence, 'went to the Baron's lodgings, in Queen Ann street West, where he %as •informed 'he had left them that morning. Informa tion was given at Bow-street, 'and Rwett was sent in pursuit of him. The officer waited at his lodg ings and in the neighbourhood during the whole of 'the day, but rano purpose; and having strong sus picions that he was gone out of the country, he ap plied to Mr. Reeves, the head of the Alien Office, who wroteoff to :he ditlei - ent ports to stop the Barton. In a few daysafter Mr. lice-yes reerivA information from Liverpool, that the , Baron had been discovered i b his Lady on boaro a ship enclea , .on;ing to sail from that port -without a pa:sport. This int-arrant tion was communicated to Rivett, who !tiformrd the Bankers, - but they declined.going to the expellee of sending an officer to bring the Baron to Lottd , ,n, _as they had not paid any of Ca.:tit - ails. All of those who have been defrauded seem to think it would be lost money to send after him, as there only re mains a possibiiity of recovering a small part of the property, 'NUN 6 1TION.—About one o'clock in the morning of the 20th tilt. the Driggle Reseivoir at he top of Stanadge, in Marsden, about nine miles west of Huddersfield, burst, and the. water flowing in an easterly 'direttion, inundated the who of the ad joining Valley. This reservoir, t'orined for the pur pose of . supplying the Huddelstield Canal, covered About,i's•acres ot ,land, and such was thedestruc tive impetuosity of the flood, that it swept away a cotTag4 occupied by James Schulfield, sending on the declivity of a hill , and his wife and four chil dren perished in the flood. Rushing forward in its fatal course, the Water advanced to the mill of Messrs. Hotstals, and so comPktely inundated the house of the miller, James Bait - Ilion:1, that himself and his wife were floated On: of their beds; he seized the stone work in the window, and for some time held his wife in his embrace ; but she was at !ength forced from him, and the nest morning her lifeless body was taken up at a place called the Pad ' dock, two miles from Hudder,field . ; the husband,. however, kept his hold of the window till the wa ter subsided, and by that means preserved hts • ti Bes,.:s these fatal cceidents, in whi c h s i x li ves were lost; many 'others of lass consequence oc curred. The old sea-banks in the vicinity oc .131ston are now in such a slate of repair as to preclude ilLte pos sibility of any fresh iL)utiddtions by the water on ;L.! neighbouiing lands, except by an extraordinary rise of the tide.
